Summary sheet
The project concerns SCA’s investments in research, development and innovation related to personal care, tissue and forestry products over the period of 2013-2016.
These investments focus on three main areas: i) supporting the development and innovation of new products and services, notably in the hygiene and tissue product segments, targeting at consumer well-being; ii) developing environmentally friendlier and more energy efficient solutions and processes; and iii) improving efficiency and reducing cost of various manufacturing processes.
The project concerns investments in Research and Development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities, already authorised, and which would therefore not require an EIA under Directive 85/337/EC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC. At appraisal, it will be determined if any of the work to be carried out would require a change to existing environmental permits.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
